THE ENGLISH SCHOOL MA GA ZINE 2022 THE ENGLISH SCHOOL MA GA ZINE 2022

Mr Lambon was
interviewed by
Maria Eirini Liodi 7Y
Maria Eirini has been
active in the creative and
performing arts activities
at school, along with
always being a prominent
figure in our sports
community. She is planning
to take a gap year to work,
develop her skills in acting,
languages and sport,
whilst enjoying a more
leisurely approach toward
her study of literature.
From there, the plan is to
study English and Drama
the following year.
...embrace
the uncertain

and delve

into the
new...

Advice for the graduating
students
“My advice is always the same – make use of
every opportunity that you have and don’t keep headmaster’s interview
doing the same thing. Entering a completely
different chapter of your lives next year, embrace
the uncertain and delve into the new. If you don’t
consider yourself much of a sportsperson, maybe
join the canoe club, or if you’ve never experienced
public speaking, join the political society. You’re
never going to get 3-4 years like this again. Make
the most of every opportunity because it’s a gift
you’ll never be given again.” And if I can add, I hope
that we keep dreaming big, despite the increased
adversity of the past few years. One thing that
came across as a certainty from my discussion with
Mr Lambon, is that the path isn’t linear. Whichever 05
path you’re on, and wherever you’re aiming to go,
don’t shy away from change – the path is meant to
meander a little (or a lot) – that’s how it is.
Oh, and in case you are wondering about the
professional golfer aspirations, I should add that
although Mr Lambon is trying to come to terms
with the fact that it is unlikely that he will fulfil his
dream of following a golf career, he seems to have
settled for a more realistic future involvement in
sport – “My wife and I think it’s more likely that I’ll
retire In the next ten years and I’ll take a job cutting
grass at the golf course” – that doesn’t sound like
an all-that-bad plan to me! Nefeli Savvidou 6J
